This was changed to a one-off thread in Bug 1650786. The main blocker for using the background task queue is bug 1672255, which aims in part to prevent synchronous dispatch to the same thread pool as this can cause a hang. I'm reopening this bug as a part of bug 1595241 to track where we are still using an nsThread. We can try to move this again when we are sure it won't cause a hang.
